When I started this blog I intended it to cover 2 areas. Firstly, I wanted to let people know what I’m up to with my own toys. Secondly I wanted to talk a bit about things I like.

As it happens, for quite a while I have done neither. I do have good news coming up for those interested in seeing some new sculpts, but for now I’m going to concentrate on the second area. Inspirations.

For me Astro Mu 5 is one of the biggest. Oft regarded as bootlegs of Takara’s Henshin Cyborg, this line was in fact a hugely ambitious array of toys that included mechanised tanks, giant robots, and transparent plastic/ vinyl space heroes with sparkling metallic skeletons and hellishly original costumes.

This post is something of a work in progress, which seems apt, as an Astro Mu collection is something seemingly impossible to complete. Initially it will be a checklist, later with more photographs as I get round to finding images of them.
